The Nebraska
divers travel to Houston, Tex., on Thursday, Nov. 15, for the annual Phill
Hansel Invite held at the CRWC Natatorium. The squad will compete at 10 a.m.
and 6 p.m. all three days and will face 14 teams from eight different
conferences. Arkansas, Clemson, Kansas, Texas, Texas A&M, and UCLA are a
few of the notable schools in a very deep and talented field that will be a
good measuring stick for the Huskers.

The Nebraska
swimmers travel to Topeka, Kan. on Friday, Nov. 16, for the Kansas Classic at the
Capital Federal Natatorium. Competition will be held at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on
Friday and Saturday, while Sunday's competition will take place at 9 a.m. and 3
p.m. The Huskers will be competing against Iowa State, Kansas, Nebraska-Omaha,
Rice, and No. 18 Notre Dame.

Nebraska
defeated both Iowa State and Nebraska-Omaha in duals earlier this season. Additionally,
the Huskers will be looking for revenge against a Kansas squad that took down
the Huskers 155-145 in a dual last season in Lawrence, Kan. A nationally ranked
Notre Dame squad will also pose a threat, as they come in as the favorites
despite the Huskers' 10-0 record.

Following
this weekend's meets, the Huskers will have two weeks to prepare for their
Nov.30-Dec. 02 trek to Iowa City, Iowa, for the Hawkeye Invitational. The squad
will then take a month off from competition before returning to the pool in
January for holiday training.

The Nebraska
swimming and diving team fell to 2-1 on the season after dropping a close dual
against Kansas in Lawrence. The Jayhawks and the Huskers both won eight events
on the day, but the Huskers fell just short on points in the dual. The Huskers
fall to 11-23 all-time against the Jayhawks.

Nebraska
started off strong, with the team of Ellan Dufour, Shannon Guy, Natalie Morris
and Ariel Weech winning the 200-yard medley relay in 1:47.24. Kansas' Rebecca
Swank won the 1,650-yard freestyle immediately after to earn nine points for
the Jayhawks. NU's Bailey Pons finished second in the event at 17:11.13.
Mailene Leslie and Riley Seidel rounded out the event for NU, earning two and
one points, respectively.

Hayley
Martin won her first event of the day in the 200-yard freestyle. At 1:51.43,
Martin finished 1.36 ahead of Kansas' Shannon Garlie to take the third event of
the afternoon. Kansas swimmers won event four through six in the 100-yard backstroke,
100-yard breaststroke and 200-yard butterfly before Martin and Weech split the
50-yard freestyle, with each finishing at 24.23, just .07 ahead of Kansas'
Sveta Golovchun. It was the first of two events in which Guy and Weech
took the top two spots. The second occurred in the ninth event of the afternoon
in the 100-yard freestyle. Martin bested Weech by just .30, finishing at
51.93.

Kaitlan
Walker won the first diving event of the afternoon for the Huskers in the
1-meter dive. Her score of 285.29 was good enough to best teammate Payton
Michaud, who finished second in the event with a score of 269.25. Michaud won
the second diving event of the afternoon in the 3-meter dive with her score of
277.35. Alyson Ramsey and Kaitlan Walker of NU finished second and third,
respectively, at 274.35 and 268.12.

Kansas was
able to show resilience in the late-going, winning three-straight events for
the second time on the day in the 200-yard back, 200-yard breast and the 500-yard
freestyle before NU's Guy won the thirteenth event, the 100-yard
butterfly.

Kansas'
Brooke Brull and Stephanie Payne took the top two spots in the fifteenth event,
the 200-yard IM, before the Husker 200-yard freestyle team won the final event
on the day to close out the dual.

The Nebraska
swimming and diving team defeated South Dakota (240-59) and Iowa State
(176.5-122.5) in their dual meet that took place Friday afternoon at Iowa
State's Beyer Pool.

Nebraska won
eight of the fourteen individual events and both relays on Friday to take the
dual meet victory and improve their record to 8-0 on the season. Junior Bailey
Pons led the way for the Huskers, winning the 200-yard (1:53.56), 500-yard
(5:00.71), and 1,000-yard freestyles (10:17.18).
